GOVERNOR BARASA INHERITED SKELETONS OF A COUNTY. (Part One)

Image
Most projects begun by Oparanya in the last three months in office lacked a budget and turned out to be meant for heist.  FRESH From the cooperate world, KETRACO boss Fernandes Barasa did not know what awaited him as Kakamega County boss.  Backed for office by fellow FCPA Whyclife Oparanya, it is now clear Governor Barasa came to office of a county that was outside rossy but a skunk from inside.  After settling in office the governor was confronted with a whooping Ksh 10 Billion as pending bills cumulatively with on-going projects, launched at the sun set of his predecessor's term.  WATER! WATER ! Water for locals has remained Governor Barasa's rallying call. Out of 250 inherited projects, 60 are up and running .  Monsters like the infemous Shamakhubu Hospital, Butere Level 4, Madala Tea factory, Malava dairy and such others, ongoing without a budget were immediate concerns.  Its clear that by June 2022, Oparanya was still launching ...

BARASA TO ECHESA : YOUR TACTICS AT EXTORTION ARE OVER.

Image
Gloves are off. Governor BARASA is no push over to be extorted and threatened by a person he calls an ILLITEATE baboon. BARASA says Echesa uses old fashioned thuggish extortionist styles of destruction, violence and name calling hoping that he will be called to a discussion table for him to get a cut. He used the same tactic with Oparanya until he was given a tender at Mumias. He did it to Kidero, he did it to Kebati. He tried it on Faruq kibet but failed. This is his survival playbook—relentless attacks until his target gives in. But this time, he has met his match. Governor Barasa is standing firm. Now, the Shibale Goon is panicking, making frantic calls to Governor Barasa’s allies, asking, "Bwana, huyo jamaa anasema nini? Anataka niendelee kumulima tu, ama ataniita?" He is frustrated, pouring money into a fight without knowing if—or how—it will ever pay off. BARASA says an ILLITEATE GOON will not hold Kakamega county and MUMIAS farmers ransom using threats.  Th...
